The gunshot exploded.
The falcon in the air jerked violently and plummeted straight down outside the wall.
Yuri frantically felt herself over.
After confirming she had not been shot full of holes, she turned and fled into the distance.
She threw herself into the arms of the equally anxious Slyther, who had rushed over.
"Are you okay? Were you hit?" Slyther immediately checked her all over.
"No, I was just startled," Yuri said softly.

"Don't! Auntie, I was wrong! We're outside!" Yuri spun around and ran, loudly begging for mercy.
Creak—!
Clatter—!
The main gate of the Island Master's Manor opened in the distance.
The rabbit-eared girl emerged with several skeletons clad in Blue Stab-Proof Suits and carrying rifles.
At the same time, large numbers of skeletons appeared behind and around the two of them, surrounding them from all sides.

Minnie raised her brows, instantly recalling who she was. She gave a slight bow. "Deacon Slyther?"
The two had only met a few times.
But they had both left a deep impression on each other.
Minnie and Andeviel had been slaves Slyther bought in Luntam City before giving them to Wu Heng.
"Yes, Wu Heng sent us," Slyther said, putting away the wooden stick
